    1842 house, slave quarters, log cabin, old church & manure

    Go figure that combination. Our first planned hunt of the year would have your head spinning if you didn't see see the set up and the final results. Good weather and moist ground. First house was a massive brick & stone house probably 100-110 years old. The brick building behind it was inscribed...

    Great Find & Good Lessons

    We finally got some soaking rain so my brother and I hit a couple of houses in a small town. We had ten coins one being a 46 wheat, no silver. We went to another area and the third house we hit was probably built in the 1920's. It had been occupied until ten years ago. We pulled up about ten...

    Home owners coverage on your coin collection

    Hopefully everyone has a great collection worth lots of money. If that is the case, you might want to take a look at your homeowners insurance policy. There is usually only a hundred dollars coverage for money unless you have an endorsement to cover a coin collection. The same applies to...

    Finally, first really great hunt this year

    Up until Memorial Day, I've had a drought for 07 with no outstanding coins. I had lots of wheats but so silver, buffs or Indian heads. That changed yesterday. My brother & I hit an old house and he pulled up a 1954 quarter. The soil was very fine and there were small drainage ditches on the...

    A good lesson-Keep Digging

    Last year my brother & I hit a 120 year old house and picked up about 20 coins, all modern except an early 40's mercury dime. The soil was pretty fine and it looked like a high water table area. The owners have lived there 30 years and no one ever detected the property during that time. We went...

    Snow, Sunshine Followed by Silver

    The first week of December St. Louis had 6 inches of snow and temperatures in the teens. I figured that was it for the year. The next week we had temperatures reach 70, melt the snow and saturate the ground. I went by myself to the old scout camp. I was hoping to pick up a couple of coins since...

    Silver Last Three Times Out

    I had a caller out of the yellow pages request a small job that took about 5 minutes to do and cost me $2.00 in the form of a report. I told him before I gave him a bill, I wanted to hear about his rental properties. He had two houses, one built in 1927 and the other about 1920. I traded him the...

    Old Scout Camp Still Producing

    I had to get my fix Sunday and went back to the old scout camp which I've have hit over and over. I keep waiting to come up empty handed and once that happens twice in a row, I'll figure it is played out but it hasn't happened yet. The ground is really ideal for digging since we have had so much...

    Good Hunt & Good Variety

    My brother & I hit a house that was built probably in the late 1920's. We ended up with 29 coins total and one of the few times I beat him in all categories. We had an interesting mix of goodies. I got three wheats 1910, 1941 & 1945, a 1944 war nickel, a 1935 Mercury, a silver ring marked...

    A Decent Weekend

    I got out for about 3 hours Saturday, hit an old house and picked up a 1924 wheat and one modern coin. Walked to the nearby old scout camp which we have pounded hard for almost two years. It is only producing now when the ground is saturated. Hit it twice earlier this year and pulled up 15...

    One More Silver

    Finally got out at the old scout camp. Haven't done much digging lately with the Missouri firearm deer season and weddings but glad to have gotten in one more dig before everything freezes up. We had two solid days of rain early in the week so ground was saturated and easy digging. Dug for...

    The Trip From Hell

    Sometimes I can see why Cain did onto Abel. I've felt like that after a recent trip with my twin. He wanted to get an early start so 5:50 a.m., he is at my house. He is now trying to read a piece of paper that fell into a puddle and half the directions and numbers are smeared. After 20 minutes...

    Soaked Ground Still Producing

    We went from ground like concrete in July to saturation over the past month. In early July I I figured the old scout camp we had been hitting was about played out. It took just over two hours to find one coin (41 quarter) which I found when I was on my way out. Since that time and with the help...

    Soaked ground gives up goodies

    I keep hitting a scout camp from the 1950's and it keeps producing. We finally got three days of soaking rain. I waited a couple of days and hit the camp for a couple of hours yesterday before work. Came up with 16 coins, including 1931 & 1944 wheat, 1937 Mercury and 1936 Buffalo. First every...

    You really don't get them all-old scout camp

    My brother and I have been hitting an old scout camp over and over. Lately it has been me going solo because of schedules and hitting newer ground together. I'm guessing the camp was put into use in the early 50's. At first, I thought it might have been earlier but considering the age of the...

    First Silver Half & Detecting Urban Areas

    Had a couple of firsts. All of my detecting so far has been rural, small town & suburban. A buddy got the detecting bug from me and got permission to hunt two old homes under rehab in the the urban area of St. Louis. It was interesting. The yards were much smaller than I was used to and one back...

    Barber, buffalo & Indian Heads

    The house my brother & I hit for the first time on July 3 continues to produce. He hit it by himself on July 4 pulling up 42 coins. We hit it for a couple of hours late yesterday with 26 coins for the effort. The ground is like rock. We are going to wait until we get some soaking rain to go...

    Pinch Me-Unreal Weekend

    On Saturday I hit an old girl scout camp that my brother and I have really pounded the past year. So far it has given up 188 coins of which 13 have been silver. With no rain the past couple of weeks, the ground is like concrete. I had an hour and a half to dig (my wife thought I was at the...
